Product reviews of Crest Whitestrips Premium (28 strips: 14 Upper, 14 Lower)
Review: How white do you want? (worth reading if you're interested)
Beauty product: 5 Stars
I tell you what, these are better than sliced bread and the wheel combined. Why spend upward of (...) to get your teeth whitened at the dentist, when for about 1/10 the price you can just get these Whitestrips.I've thought for years that I would like to get my teeth whitened, but my vanity never quite got over the combined hurdle of my pride (I didn't want to go tell a dentist I wanted my teeth whitened) and my pocket book (I think you get it).
This product solved both problems. Just smile a tight-lipped smile at the cashier or better yet, buy them online and never have anyone see your mother-of-pearl browns. And at a much lower cost than the dentist, I was sold from the first time I saw an ad in a magazine.
My excuse of an occasion for trying them out was my wedding. I was getting married, and I wanted to have relatively white teeth for the pictures. I figured they would get a little whiter. I was wrong. They got a LOT whiter.
This is basically a peroxide whitening treatment, similar to what your dentist would do. I've seen some warnings from other people who use the product that there may be some pain related to using the product. What I experienced was a minor achiness on days 3-5 that lasted from about 15 minutes into wearing the strip through 15 minutes after wearing the strip. The only thing I can compare it to is if you press kind of hard on your front teeth and you can feel some pressure. That's the basic feeling, except that you can't make it go away by letting go of your teeth. It was more annoying than painful.
About wearing them, I had a little trouble with the bottom strip. The top one stayed on fine the whole time, but the bottom one is a little smaller on the part that wraps to the inside of your teeth. This means there's a little less to stick to your teeth. It liked to slip loose.
Also, don't forget to wash your hands. Peroxide makes little white spots.
*****Final Thoughts*****
This is a great product. They whiten just as well as they claim to, though I don't know how long it will last. Mine are just as good 2 months later. They are easy to use and comparatively inexpensive.
They can be a little annoying, but I didn't find it enough to put me off the product, I'll probably use it again in the future.
An hour a day for seven days to whiter teeth. That's about as close to instant as you can get.
